Missouri junior track standout Karissa Schweizer was honored with another accolade on Monday, as she was named the Midwest Region Women's Track Athlete of the Year by the United States Track & Field Cross Country Coaches Association.
It's Schewizer's third USTFCCCA regional award this season. She was also named the Women's Cross Country Athlete of the Year in November after winning the NCAA title and the Women's Indoor Track Athlete of the Year in March after winning a national championship in the 5,000-meter run and finishing second at the NCAA Indoors in the 3,000. She also was named USTFCCCA National Women's Athlete of the Year after her NCAA cross country crown.
